Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
Man...that was quick. I'm shocked.
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
Avery will be picked up as a head coach someplace in the league. He tried to teach the bunch of misfits he had how to play defense but all he had was a german jumpshooter, a dope smoker, a crackhead, a gang banger, an ancient former legend and a turd for center. Cant do much with that.
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
The Bucks have an open Head Coaching job.
Terry Porter took a crack at it maybe another former Spurs' point guard can too.
I don't see him coming close to HCing a contender
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
Not to sound like a panzy but its incredibly insensitive to do it that quick I think.
Losing a series, and then being consequently fired the same night? Thats a hard pill to swallow. Thats shitty even.
Mark Cuban can enjoy watching a new coach lose now though, but maybe he'll feel better about himself shaking up the coaching when shaking up his team failed miserably.

Who's the crackhead???
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
Checked with the DMN site....nothing yet but it wouldn't suprise me if he were fired.

That's harsh even if we're talking about Avery.
And, please Pop, DO NOT hire him.
Ugh- but then again, what if he gets a job as a broadcaster???

do you buy out his contract,
severance pay?
every coaches contract is different?
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
Go east, AJ, go east. Stay away from Western Conference teams.
Unless it's the Spurs, of course.
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
Wow this is messed up if is true.
Instead of firing Avery he (Cuban) should have fired that Howard. It looks to me Howard being let go is a way more sensible thing to do.
But anyway, this could be a good thing for AJ. The Mavs aren't never gonna get out of the first round..at least for a long time.
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
If he's still getting Cuban money, I don't see how we can keep him out of the Spurs' broadcast booth.
Maybe we could start a petition.
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
The Heat should have waited longer to hire a coach.
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
I really can't accept this as legit. Local dallas radio is reporting nothing and its not listed on the local paper's mavs blog. No way. Just a rumor.
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93607 - Read that story about Avery and Josh Howard.
Josh Howard is a loser. Maybe it's okay that the Spurs didn't draft him after all.
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
:lol @ Piston's photo shop.
Awesome work! :)
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
if Avery gets fired, he will be the next coach of the NY Knicks.

Hopefully he does not sign with the Suns or Nuggets. You give him a built in offense and he'll figure out a defense to defend the Spurs.
Agreed and i fully believe unless he gets another head coaching job he is coming to Pops staff, they will want him for sure.

Avery to the Bulls. Count it.
Re: Avery Johnson Has Been Fired
If anyone should get the ax it is whoever put together the highest payroll in the league.
Yes.
Bigger than the Knicks.
And tied for the majority for at least 3 more years.
Good Times.

If JHo caused all those disruptions during a Spurs' playoff run, Pop would have just sent him home.

Friend of mine on the NBA beat at the Star-Telegram hasn't heard anything on his own or from the newsroom.
